Because I fail to see the comparison that's why... as I said you are comparing something that increases in value year in year out to something that decreases in value.
You are talking hypothetically whereas I'm talking in fact
No matter what someone is willing to pay at the time it's based on his contract and worth to his owning club at some point he becomes valueless in terms of a fee and a person isn't worth any money to anyone else whereas your painting you seem to like comparing too is and will continue to gain value
Also in your comparison you also fail too see that your painting although given away for free was infact a masterpiece and worth millions to start with whereas our player was worth zilch to start with leaves for zilch so nothing has been lost
If I'm daft thinking like that well I won't say what I think of your mental capabilities comparing a worthless player with an expensive painting
No comparison whatsoever
So accurate word for word.
me personally, his attitude and off the pitch antics don't bother me one bit im not paying his wages so i ignore it... i only judge any footballer based on their football and although he shown some great potential that one season when he scored a few goals, we are not seeing the same saido at this moment in time. Be that because of his attitude, the coaching staff, confidence, played out of position or any other reason we can all say this and that but the fact people assume we are loosing out big time is stupid.
like you say we payed zilch for him so if we get zilch back we aint lost anything, we just haven't gained anything other than one season which is past where his goals played part in us stopping up, to see any profit at all from him with a sale we need;
1) a less negative manager/head coach - saido is an attacking player so to play in a defensive side aint no good for him or us, its pointless he's out of place
2) him to be played in his best position - saido is more effective playing off the shoulder of defenders, running onto balls and scoring, he's too short to be winning long balls in the air and his heading aint exactly his strongest point is it
3) when he's warming up we need to either support him or if people cant bring themself to do that, atleast ignore him - booing a player only knocks their confidence even more so its as they say 'don't bite off your nose to spite your face'
that will then put him back in the shop window providing he starts scoring goals... clubs would then start sniffing around if they saw he can get back to how he was before the whole spurs drama, then just maybe we could get a profit from him.
But 1) we have pulis in charge, 2) the style of play is not going to change just cause we now have chadli and 3) fans are not going to give in.
In reality we have an unhappy player who is now no use to us and a bunch of unhappy fans because he's still at our club, he will leave then we will still have unhappy fans because we never got £20m for him. Can the club ever win?
